Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until vegetables are softened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Add the bread cubes to the prepared baking dish. Top with the sausage mixture and 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheese.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and sausage, ensuring all bread cubes are moistened.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese over the top.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the casserole is set and golden brown on top.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with chopped fresh chives before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- Prepare the casserole the night before, cover, and refrigerate. In the morning, let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.
- Bread choice: Use a hearty bread like sourdough or French bread. Day-old bread works best as it absorbs the egg mixture without becoming too soggy.
